<p><b>'I can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami'</b><br><b>- Haruki Murakami</b><br><br><b>'The most exciting Japanese novelist at work today'<br>- <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>A heart-stopping story of teenage girls on the brink in 1990s Tokyo from the International Booker Prize-Shortlisted author of <i>Heaven</i> and <i>Breasts and Eggs</i>.</b><br><br>Hana has nothing but she's hopeful. She's fifteen years old. She lives in a tiny apartment in a suburb of Tokyo with her young mother, a hostess at a local dive bar. They have no money, no security. Then Kimiko appears.<br><br>Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hana's dark world. Together they set up Lemon, a bar that, despite its shabby setting and seedy clientele, becomes a haven for Hana. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves, friends to share her days with, and the glittering promise of money. She feels like a normal girl.
